SCURLOCK HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY ON THIS IN THE PAST AND IT WOULD CREATE MORE CONSISTENCY TO HAVE HIM CONTINUE TO WORK WITH IT. ATTORNEY COLLINS DID NOT FEEL THAT THE CHAIRMAN COULD ABROGATE HIS SEAT ON THE DISTRICT BOARD, BUT STATED THAT HE COULD DELEGATE THE RIGHT TO COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK TO ATTEND MEETINGS AND VOTE ON THE CHAIRMAN'S BEHALF; NO ACTION OF THE BOARD WOULD BE NECES- SARY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD SO DELEGATE TO COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK THE RIGHT TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS OF THE SOUTH INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT AND VOTE ON BEHALF OF THE CHAIRMAN. CHAIRMAN LYONS THEN DISCUSSED REPRESENTATION ON THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL, NOTING THAT AS IT PRESENTLY STANDS, HE AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE ARE THE MEMBERS AND WE NOW NEED TO APPOINT TWO ALTERNATE MEMBERS, WHO ALSO MUST BE ELECTED OFFICIALS. ON THAT BASIS, HE WISHED TO SUGGEST THAT MR. BIRD BE MR. WODTKE'S ALTERNATE AND MR. SCURLOCK BE HIS ALTERNATE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT COMMISSIONER FLETCHER HAS INDICATED AN INTEREST IN SERVING ON THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. HE ASKED THAT THE BOARD CONSIDER ALLOWING HIM TO DEFER HIS SEAT TO COMMISSIONER FLETCHER AND HAVING COMMISSIONER BIRD BE MR, FLETCHER'S ALTERNATE. 12
